Description

Purple Alginate Bags for Cytotoxic Linen

Designed for the containment and identification of cytotoxic linen, these Purple Soluble Seam Laundry Bags provide a practical solution for healthcare, aged care and commercial laundry environments where linen associated with chemotherapy treatment requires appropriate handling.

The distinctive purple colour helps identify cytotoxic linen, allowing it to be readily distinguished from other categories of laundry. This is particularly important for linen associated with people undergoing chemotherapy, where contaminated linen may require specific handling and laundering procedures.

By keeping linen contained from collection through to the laundry process, these soluble seam bags can also help minimise unnecessary direct handling before washing.

How Do Soluble Seam Bags Work?

Each bag is manufactured from polyethylene with a water-soluble seam and includes a detachable soluble tie for securing the opening.

During the initial stages of the laundry cycle, the seam dissolves and allows the bag to open, releasing the enclosed linen into the wash. This enables the linen to remain contained during collection and transportation while reducing the need to manually empty the bag before laundering.

The soluble seam is positioned on the outside of the bag, helping prevent premature dissolution if it comes into contact with damp linen during filling or transportation.

What Are Alginate Bags?

Alginate bags, dissolvable laundry bags and soluble seam bags are terms commonly used for laundry bags designed to minimise direct handling of contaminated linen during laundering.

These particular alginate bags are made from polyethylene and use a soluble seam rather than having the entire bag dissolve.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I reuse these laundry bags?

    No, the laundry bags are designed for single use. The dissolvable seam is intended to open during the wash cycle, making them unsuitable for reuse.

    Are these liners strong enough to hold heavy laundry loads?

    Made from polyethylene, these liners offer good durability for typical laundry loads. However, for exceptionally heavy laundry or sharp objects, consider using heavy-duty laundry bags designed for those specific needs.

    How do I dispose of the bag material that dissolves during the wash cycle?

    The dissolved bag material should be safely disposed of down the drain along with the washing machine wastewater. Most washing machines are designed to handle the small amount of material from these liners.
